The reverse shoulder arthroplasty in the conditions of modified anatomy glenoid is complex and often excludes possibility using standard tactics installing component. There are no identical glenoids, each articular cavity scapula differs height, width, angle inclination, density bone tissue, absence or presence various defects tissue. Given variety options for changing structure quality tissue ...

A 05-year-old male presented with abnormal fullness and swelling over the right scapula, progressive shoulder pain since 1 year. Limited overhead activities shoulder. X-ray CT scan: S/o approximately 4.8 (AP)X3.5(T)X5.39CC sized sessile cauliflower-like bone outgrowths few osteolytic areas fine trabeculation. Surgical Procedure: An extraperiosteal excisional biopsy was performed. Histopathologi...

Osteochondromas are the most common benign tumours of bone. These are most commonly seen on the metaphysis of a long bone, but they can arise from any bone which is preformed from cartilage. To best of our knowledge, very few cases of osteochondroma scapula have been reported in literature. We hereby report a very rare case of osteochondroma which arose from scapula in a four year old boy, whic...

INTRODUCTION Historically, minimally-to-moderately displaced extra-articular scapula fractures have been managed conservatively. It is possible that operative criteria could be met for a given patient if progressive displacement in the post injury period were to occur. A retrospective review of an operative cohort of patients was performed to determine if a subset of scapula fractures that init...

Nyab, a fairl}7, healthy-looking Pathan, aged about 20 years, came to the Parachinar Dispensary, in the Knrram Valley in July 1895, complaining of a swelling on the light side of his back of one year's duration. On examination there was found to be an oval fluctuating swelling extending upwards to near the spine of the right scapula, inwards to within about four inches of the spinous processes ...

Scapula fractures following low-velocity injuries are extremely rare but can be a missed associated fracture of other upper limb injuries. We describe the case of a patient who sustained a fracture of the scapula through an unusual and hitherto unreported indirect mechanism. The injury was associated with a radial head fracture and initially missed on presentation. This case highlights the need...

The scapulothoracic articulation is a sliding junction between the deep aspect of the scapula and thoracic rib cage at the levels of ribs 2 through 7. Motion at this articulation is dynamically stabilized by a variety of muscular attachments, allowing for controlled positioning of the glenoid to assist in glenohumeral joint function. A thorough understanding of the complex anatomic relationship...

OBJECTIVE To present a clinical understanding of the role the scapula plays in the mechanics of shoulder function and specialized techniques for the rehabilitation of injuries around the shoulder girdle. BACKGROUND The scapular musculature is often neglected in the evaluation and treatment of shoulder injuries. This lack of attention often degenerates into the incomplete evaluation and rehabi...

We studied the position and rotational changes associated with elevation of the glenohumeral joint, using a three-dimensional magnetic-field tracking system on nine fresh cadaveric shoulders. The plane of maximal arm elevation was shown to occur 23 degrees anterior to the plane of the scapula. Elevation in any plane anterior to the scapula required external humeral rotation, and maximal elevati...
